Figure 1, 2 shows a method of manufacturing a thermometer and the design of the thermometer; figure 3 is a view a in figure 1; figure 4 is a view of B in figures 1 and 2.

The thermometer contains a housing made (formed) in the form of furniture for sitting, for example, a chair containing a seat 1 (see Figs. 1-3), a support 6, a back 8 or a back support 7, a tank sealed cavity 2 (hereinafter the cavity), indicator medium (indicator substance) 3, capillary long-dimensional tight cavity (hereinafter cavity) 4 and scale 5. Scale 5 is placed along cavity 4. Cavities 2 and 4 are interconnected. The indicator medium 3 is placed in the cavity 2 with the possibility of movement along the cavity 4. The cavities 2, 4 and the scale 5 are made (placed) on the back 8 or the backrest 7. The cavity 4 and the scale 5 are installed with the possibility of viewing. The case is made of translucent material, such as glass, or plexiglass, or a polymer material - this is not essential, but it is essential that the translucent material is present in the area of the cavity 4, in the area of the scale 5. The scale 5 is made (placed) on the back 8 or the back-support 7 and is a set of lines and numbers that are made in a certain way and with a certain step. The lines can be made by prefabricating the depressions and then filling them with filler. The scale 5 can be performed in a printing way in the form of a separate removable part with marks and numbers, which is fixed on the back 8 or the back-support 7. In the back 8 or the back-support 7, a special cavity can be made to accommodate the scale 5. The indicator medium (indicator substance) 3 can be formed, for example, by tinted ethanol (as an indicator medium any medium from among the known and used in the manufacture of thermometers can be used). The geometrical shape in plan, in cross section and the dimensions of the thermometer body correspond to the geometrical form in plan, in cross section and dimensions of known furniture for sitting, as well as furniture for seating, which will be created in the future, with support 6, seat 1 and back 7 or back 7. The applicant draws the attention of the examination to the fact that not one or another geometric form of manufacturing / execution of the thermometer case is claimed, but the manufacture / execution of the thermometer case according to the shape of the furniture for seating is claimed, while the furniture for ideas can have any geometric shape, this is not an essential sign, i.e. The new thermometer feature is essential.

Figure 1, 2 shows a thermometer, the body of which is made (formed) in the form of furniture for sitting - a chair, which has, as an example, a geometric shape in plan, shown in figures 1, 2.

The thermometer works as follows.

The thermometer measures the temperature of the environment or substance by placing the thermometer in the environment or substance. Under the influence of the ambient temperature or the substance, the volume of the indicator medium 3 changes, and as a result of the volume change, the height of the column of the indicator medium 3 in the cavity 4 changes. The value of the temperature of the substance or medium is determined by the position of the edge of the column of the indicator medium 3 in the cavity 4 relative to the scale 5 .

An example of a method for manufacturing a thermometer.

The following was manufactured: a thermometer case in the form of a chair with support 6, seat 1 and back 8 or back support 7, reservoir sealed cavity 2 (hereinafter cavity), indicator medium (indicator substance) 3, capillary lengthy sealed cavity (hereinafter cavity) 4 and a scale 5. Scale 5 was placed along cavity 4. Cavities 2 and 4 were interconnected. The indicator medium 3 was placed in the cavity 2 with the possibility of movement along the cavity 4. Cavities 2, 4 and the scale 5 were placed on the back 8 or back-support 7 (see figure 1, 2). The cavity 4 and the scale 5 were installed with the possibility of viewing. The body was made of translucent material, such as glass or plexiglass, and polymeric material - this is not essential, but it is essential that the translucent material is present in the area of the cavity 4 in the area of the scale 5. The scale 5 was made on the surface of the back 8 or back - support 7 in the form of a set of lines and numbers that are performed in a certain way and with a certain step. The lines were made by prefabricating the depressions and then filling them with filler (using thick black paint). Indicator medium (indicator substance) 3 was made in the form of ethyl alcohol tinted in red. The shape and dimensions of the body were made in the form, in particular, of a chair with seat 1, support 6 and back 8 or back support 7. It is essential that the thermometer body is formed in the form of furniture for sitting, for example, a chair with seat 1, support 6 and a back 8 or a back-support 7, while said furniture for seating can have any geometric shape, but this is not essential.

Thus, the claimed technical solutions ensure the achievement of the task and obtaining a new technical result.
